Trump's budget adds $7.1 trillion to the deficit over a decade. Thoughts?

I realize the economy is strong, jobs are being added, wages rising. But the trade deficit went up last year and the budget deficit is skyrocketing. Fiscal conservatives how do you feel?

    I think we should no longer consider the modern Republican party as fiscally conservative, for states' rights OR for small government. Nor should they be considered the party of Christian family values. I am non-aligned, but Libertarian leaning.

    This is just a continuation of the Two Santa Claus Theory.

    First developed in 1974 by Jude Wanniski and first put into practice by Reagan in 1981.

    Read about it and all will make perfect sense.

    The truth is that deficits don't matter until we have a major war and then they matter enough to cause us to lose the war

    If US Navy lost five aircraft carriers in four months we wouldn't have enough money to replace them in a year

    Democrats can vote to cut spending anytime. Its laughable that Obama voters are now deeply concerned about the deficit
